The Best Deals at Kroger this Week (9/14/22-9/20/22) with Recipes (2024)

​I am a regular Kroger and Aldi shopper. I usually go to both stores weekly with some stops in my local Walmart as needed. I drive 25 minutes to get to Kroger and Aldi so I plan my shopping trips to stock up on the things we need and save our family money. Kroger prices do vary by region so make sure to check your local ad before heading to the store. I live in southern IL so the prices I post areaccurate for my area.(This is not a sponsored post, I am just sharing because I am happy with my experience of shopping at Kroger.)

With the increasing costs of groceries, I decided to start sharing what I think are the best deals at Kroger each week. I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger.I probably buy more groceries than most families since I am feeding four growing boys (I have a high-schooler with a bottomless stomach, lol) and you may not need the things that I purchase, but hopefully you will find something useful.

This is a really good deal on Perdue chicken drumsticks or thighs, 5 lb. bag for $5. I have been buying these chicken thighs and they are really good. You just can't beat $1 a pound for chicken thighs. We have been enjoying lots of grilled chicken thighs (easy recipe coming soon). I actually prefer chicken thighs over chicken breasts because they have more fat and consequently more flavor.​(no e-coupon needed for this deal, just your Kroger card)

Some of our favorite chicken recipes:

Kroger breakfast sausage links or patties (12 oz.) are $1.99 this week. This is a weekly digital deal so you will need to load the e-coupon to your Kroger card which can be used up to 5 times in one transaction. Weekly sale price without e-coupon is $2.49 each with card. This is a great stock-up price. I stashed a few of these in the freezer for easy breakfasts.

We love this recipe for

, although I usually use a roll of sausage to make it, you could crumble the patties to make sausage gravy.

Johnsonville smoked sausage is just $3.49 this week with the (use up to 5 times) digital coupon. (This is a weekly digital deal). Great for an easy dinner on the grill or some delicious

. Another good recipe to use shrimp if you took advantage of

There is a good deal on Progresso soup this week. Only $1.49 each when you buy 8 or more in the same transaction with your Kroger card. (no e-coupon needed) My boys love Progresso soup so I stocked up. My high schooler likes to make himself a can of soup for a snack or lunch.

​Last night, my husband had a school board meeting, my oldest had an away football game and my third son had a one hour soccer practice which is 30 minutes away so we had an easy dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and canned tomato soup. What are your go-to busy night dinners?
​

Tillamook cheese is one of my favorite cheeses, but it is usually more expensive. This week it is buy 1, get 1 free with your Kroger card (no digital coupon needed) making it a good stock up price.

Did you know that you can easily freeze shredded cheese? I always buy it on sale and freeze to have on hand for recipes. It will thaw quickly, plus you can add frozen shredded cheese to a recipe as long as you can break up the cheese. Just freeze shredded cheese in the original package.

Koger 1/2 milk gallons are on sale this week for 99 cents each with a weekly digital deal coupon. You can use this coupon up to 5 times in one transaction. I usually buy milk at Aldi for a better price than Kroger, but this week the Kroger price is better so I bought 5 half-gallons. The boys go through it pretty quickly. There is also a weekly digital coupon for 99 cents Kroger apple juice and one for $1.49 18 count Kroger eggs. I haven't bought eggs in a long time since we have chickens, but this is a good deal if you need eggs. You can see our
